Слайд 4Unemployment Rate Up Slightly on Growth in Labor Force
The US unemployment

rate rose slightly to 6.2 percent in July, just above its low for the recovery. The unemployment rate is the ratio of unemployed persons to the labor force.
The labor force grew by a strong 329,000, adding to gains in earlier months. The number of employed workers increased by 131,000 and the number of unemployed by 197,000
The unemployment rate is based on a monthly survey of households that differs in several respects from the employer survey on which payroll job data is based

Слайд 5Broad vs. Standard Unemployment Rate
The BLS also provides a broader measure

of job-market stress, U-6
The numerator of U-6 includes
Unemployed persons
Marginally attached persons who would like to work but are not looking because they think there are no jobs, or for personal reasons
Part-time workers who would prefer full-time work but can’t find it
The denominator includes the labor force plus the marginally attached
U-6 rose slightly to 12.2 percent in July, just above its low for the recovery
